#1My wedding cake is still far from being designed, but with your help, we are a little bit closer!

I've had lots of ideas come in, thanks to everyone for sending me your inspirations!
Posted are my TOP TEN...I mean ELEVEN favorites that some of you sent, in no particular order. (You can tell by the ones I've chosen, I'm leaning towards a very tall cake!)

Please look at all the cakes and leave a comment voting for YOUR favorite! The numbers are listed above each cake. (The colors for our Fall wedding will be Ivory, Pink and Silver, so whichever cake we go with, will be designed in those colors.)

Your votes and comments will help me narrow down some ideas and hopefully I will be able to have my dream wedding cake designed within the next few weeks! STAY TUNED!!!
Your comments are SO appreciated!

So if you haven't heard, I'M ENGAGED! And already, I've had lots of people ask me,"ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE YOUR OWN WEDDING CAKE?!?!?!"

The answer is YES!I wouldn't put the pressure on anyone to try and appease my high cake standards, PLUS, nothing would make me more happy than to give our guests a little something that's a part of who I am.

My sweet, studly fiance James has been assisting me the past few months and is tremendous help when I need him (he's becoming quite good at rolling fondant!), SO we've decided to make it together!

My amazingly, talented sister Crystal is planning our entire wedding, so the cake is really all we have to focus on.

This is where you come in...JAMES AND I NEED YOUR HELP!

As many cakes as I look at every day and as many other weddings I make cakes for, finding the perfect cake that strikes me as my own can be a little challenging.

We would love suggestions, ideas, pictures, anything that you think might inspire us for our cake. The person whose idea we like the most will receive a prize from Cara Linn, Inc.!

We will be posting our "Wedding Cake Process" right here on our blog, so STAY TUNED and PLEASE send us YOUR idea for our cake!
